"Money Doesn’t Grow on Trees" by Qynn
\n\nAbstract: Farmers are the backbone of our economy, but they are breaking under the strain. They
\nspend hours on end dealing with tremendous amounts of paperwork, stressing over impossible
\nproblems, and praying that God will give them good weather for the harvest. They are the hidden
\nheroes of God’s green earth—working day after day but getting little to no pay. Small local
\nfarmers are not receiving enough income to continue farming or caring for their families. A
\nfarmer’s fruit goes through a process—put in warehouses, sold by a seller, and placed in grocery
\nstores to be sold to consumers. Once the consumer buys the fruit, the money begins to flow
\nbackward. Say the seller prices a bin of fruit for five dollars and the grocery store buys that bin,
\nthe seller will take two dollars of those five, one for income and one to cover the costs, the
\nwarehouse will do the same, but by the time the money reaches the farmer only one dollar is left.
\nThe farmer—the one who supplies all those other people with their products is earning no
\nincome. The industrialization of agriculture has created an economic divide between grocery
\nstores, agriculture companies, and farmers, forcing the farmer to be paid last instead of first. This
\ncurrent structure puts farmers out of business and disheartens orchardists from continuing their
\nfarms. When this happens, who will grow the food if the farmer disappears?

"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun: Trans Athletes and the Attack on Femininity" by Norah
\n\nAbstract:
\n“8 Times Women in Sports Fought for Equality.”
\n“Female Athletes Sue NCAA Over Trans Competitors.”
\n“Field Hockey Captain Slams Policy Allowing Male Athletes On Girl Teams After Injury.”
\n“Feminism In Sports.”
\n“Standing Up For Women Is A Dangerous Game.”
\nThese are current headlines, fresh off the press, becoming an ever- increasing issue in
\ntoday’s culture.
\nAnd why is that? Because women are disrespected and people are upset about it. The
\nhonor of womanhood is being attacked and diminished as seen through the deterioration of
\nwomen’s sports. Specifically, women’s sports are clearly being taken advantage of at all levels:
\nhigh school, college, professional, and Olympic. God’s intentionally-designed biblical gender
\nroles are losing hold in today’s society, leading to the culture ignoring and degrading the specific
\nfunctions of each gender.
\nLooking back through time, women have fought to receive rights, but now those are
\ntwisting and changing. Basic biological facts show that men are naturally different from women,
\nbeing born with XY chromosomes that shape their development and hormones for the rest of
\ntheir lives. The physical, mental, and emotional differences of men especially display themselves
\nduring physical activities such as sports, making an unfair and uncomfortable playing field when
\nthey are allowed to compete with women.
\nActions need to be taken to prevent this perversion of womanhood. If men and women
\nhave been defined and separated for years, then instead of mixing the two together, another
\nbracket or a couple of competition brackets could be created. In this broken world there will
\nnever be a perfect solution, but attacking women’s rights and distorting femininity in the process
\ncannot be the answer. In the end, the only true answer is resetting today’s culture to align with
\nbiblical principles. People must look beyond their own feelings to the reality of God’s world and
\nthose around them.

"Classically Intelligent: Using Classical Music to Aid in Children’s Brain Development" by Belle
\n\nAbstract: Everyone listens to music constantly–whether on the way to work, while taking a shower,
\nwhile whistling and walking through a store, music constantly surrounds us in our modern
\nculture. However, there is one genre of music that has timelessly surrounded the minds of
\nhumans: instrumental classical music has influenced our processing since the 5th century BC.
\nMost people do not know the true weight that classical music carries through its soundwaves. It
\nhas been scientifically proven that classical music can enhance the brainpower of humans
\nthrough neural pathways. However, classical music effects the minds of children in the most
\nimpactful way.
\nThe minds of children are similar to sponges. They are designed to soak in all
\ninformation thrown their way through sound waves. So, when a young child listens to classical
\nmusic, it can have a lasting effect on their mind. But how does this effect even work? This has
\nbeen crowned the name “The Mozart Effect” because Mozart’s classics, more than any other
\nclassical music, has been studied and dissected. It has been discovered that Mozart wrote his
\nclassics in a specific mathematical way, resulting in this sound wave process, and studies show
\nthat classical music has this beautiful and lasting effect.
\nThis is why parents should integrate classical music into their children’s daily lives in
\norder to enhance the processing power of their brains, therefore increasing the quality of their
\nadult lives.
\nThere are 3 key ways that parents can put their children in this said environment:

*"Purity Pitch" by Hailey *
\n\nAbstract: The pure, moral world today is in peril. Morality is a hodge-podge of desire and whims in
\na post-truth society without a transcendent grounding. It is far diverged from what God originally
\ndesigned and planned for His people. This divine design and framework for humans to live well
\nis outlined in His law: the Bible. The following of this plan is called “purity.” Purity is
\nGod-ordained wholeness, an appointing of things as the way He made them to be: mentally,
\nspiritually, and physically. Each of these are interconnected and an outpouring of each other,
\ncentered around a righteous relationship with God. He has told us how to live well, and there are
\nnatural consequences for not following this: a mental health crisis and STDs run rampant as
\nhuman desire becomes increasingly perverse—and celebrated. Morality itself is slowly shifting
\ntowards a more self-based system of autonomy. “You do you” and other post-truth phrases
\nplague the world today, idolizing self-love and pleasure over the loving altruism God calls for.
\nPleasure is idolized as a personal truth, and people have agency enough to do whatever they
\nwould desire. However, what we whimsically desire is usually not what is best for us and when
\nuntempered, can lead to heartbreak and destruction. God wants us to obey Him, and by doing so,
\nwe are protected from consequences and prepared to live our lives in the best way He designed.
\nTo live purely is to follow God’s plan, and this faith is one of the pillars of a Christian’s
\nrelationship with others and God.

"From Shadows to Salvation: Unmasking the Power of Faith in Overcoming the Chains of Pornography" by Isaiah
\n\nAbstract: Drug addiction is very harmful, especially if the drug of choice is pornography. It can have devastating effects on both individuals and society. About $3,075.64 is being spent on porn every second. It makes more than the NFL, NBA, and the MLB combined! It promotes sex trafficking and causes people to be unfaithful to their spouses. It creates unrealistic expectations, objectification and has heavy emotional and mental health effects. Drugs can “promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for ‘people are slaves to whatever has mastered them’'' (New International Version, 2 Pet. 2.19). The internet is like an infinite ocean of information, where each website is a unique island waiting to be explored in seeming anonymity! It is a vast and ever-expanding universe of knowledge, entertainment, and connections. Like the ocean, surfing the internet can be both exciting and overwhelming, with endless possibilities at the touch of a button. Tragically, the same universe of possibility and peril has opened for the proliferation of porn. Except, due to the damaging and addictive nature of this certain “ocean,” it is more like a maelstrom, constantly sucking the surfers in and enticing them, making them crave more and more—a dark vortex that pulls powerfully back, every time someone tries escaping.
\nThe addictive nature of pornography can warp the mind and lead to harmful behaviors, impacting one's ability to have healthy relationships and causing physical, mental, and psychological harm. However, through the power of faith and seeking help from God, individuals can find healing and redemption from the damaging effects of pornography addiction. Utilizing a step-by-step plan, seeking guidance from professionals or support groups, and practicing positive self-talk can all contribute to overcoming the addiction. By acknowledging the issue, seeking forgiveness, and developing healthy coping mechanisms, individuals can work towards a path of healing and recovery. Ultimately, finding solace in the grace of God and the teachings of Jesus can provide the strength and guidance needed to break free from the chains of addiction and experience a renewed sense of self and healthier relationships.

Fractured Education: The School System’s Prejudiced Social Divide by Quinn
\n\nAbstract: Despite all of our advances in ridding ourselves of the injustices that have plagued our nation, a particular example of bigotry has been left to fester. People with special needs have historically been a consistent target for prejudice and oppression; this discrimination has bled out of the history books and into the American school system. To this day, American schools operate under ableism and discrimination, causing incredible social development problems our for students, and continuing to contribute to a bigoted culture. It is imperative to the development of all students that students with special needs are socially included within school culture. School culture unifies a school, it dictates the tones and conditions that a student body will operate under. For students to overcome a culturally instilled attitude of ableism, they must be educated on and exposed to their peers with special needs, specifically in these culture-building events. Inclusion in these events is the first step in breaking through the prejudice that students and their educational system share, exposing the humanity in the students who are treated as less-than, and bringing to light the inhumanity in the ableism that has dictated the lives of so many students with disabilities.

This summer, we're posting the audio of our Senior Thesis Defenses one at a time, starting with Sarah, who will be arguing that the church needs to be more involved in the foster care system.
\n\n"The Fostering of Foster Care Through the Church" by Sarah
\n**
\n**Abstract: When a child needs help, who do they run to for help? Usually to their parents.
\nSometimes it is a friend, but the younger someone is, the more they tend to rely on their
\nparents. However, children in the foster care system don’t have that option; they don’t
\nhave parents to run to. While the foster system’s intentions of wanting to take children
\nout of toxic environments and put them into a safer place are genuine, it is also in dire
\nneed of help–of the Christian church’s help. Simply because children are taken out of an
\nunsafe living environment, that doesn’t mean that the place they are sent to is necessarily
\na better place than the previous one. Foster children need a loving home, and Christians
\nare called to love and help all people as God loved everyone. Even though Christians are
\ncalled to help all people, not everyone is able to afford the cost to adopt a foster child
\nwhich can range anywhere from $20,000-$65,000 primarily depending on the race of the
\nchild in question. It is for this reason that the church should be financially involved with
\nthe foster care system by raising money through the church or by getting involved with
\nthe expenses. The foster care system needs help, and the Christian church, through the
\ncalling of Christ, is the help that is needed.

NEW PODCAST from The River Academy:
\n\nBecause of COVID's curveballs, we decided to try something new: Old Time Radio Theatre. So, in the classical vein of the Golden Age of radio, we took our stage to the airwaves! We'll provide a mixture of plays, poetry, and prose, all performed by the students of The River Academy.
\n\nFind us here.
\n\nWe present a reading of William Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud" from Emma Cenotto.
\n\n"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud"
\nby William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a cloud
\nThat floats on high o'er vales and hills,
\nWhen all at once I saw a crowd,
\nA host, of golden daffodils;
\nBeside the lake, beneath the trees,
\nFluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
\nAnd twinkle on the milky way,
\nThey stretched in never-ending line
\nAlong the margin of a bay:
\nTen thousand saw I at a glance,
\nTossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
\nOut-did the sparkling waves in glee:
\nA poet could not but be gay,
\nIn such a jocund company:
\nI gazed—and gazed—but little thought
\nWhat wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
\nIn vacant or in pensive mood,
\nThey flash upon that inward eye
\nWhich is the bliss of solitude;
\nAnd then my heart with pleasure fills,
\nAnd dances with the daffodils.

\n\nJoin us to hear their lively discussions and dive into some interesting aspects of Christian and classical education in the process!
